Following on from last week’s first steps in redwork I decided to have a go at digitizing a design myself and applying the redwork style to it – it was surprisingly easy!

This month, in a bid to become more user-confident with the Hatch Embroidery digitizing software, I intend to take a dive into a range of tools, options and features that I have rarely touched on in previous posts, starting with redwork.

This week I have just been having a play and trying to find new ways of working. After a bunch of hack hunting and tip trawling I discovered a way to be able to apply the motif stitch to a spiral which is not a standard operation in Hatch.
